Yeah but that was an explicit sarcastic response. I guess we need a 'letmechatgptthatforyou' link to show explicit sarcasm

Is the weight loss just from sleeping better and therefore making better food choices?

Underrated question

Personally, when I have not slept well and need to be productive in a day, I’m much more likely to want to load up on sugar and unhealthy food

I’m the same way. Getting good sleep is my best predictor of whether I’ll blow a weight loss attempt or skip exercise.

My Dr explained to me that proper sleep is important for the body to "reset" chemical balances and metabolism. It is still calories in vs out, but you are more likely to store the calories than burn them due to the "metabolic system" being out of whack due to poor sleep.

Almost certainly plays a role. Also increased activity levels due to better less fatigue.

Certainly is not defeating thermodynamics, assuming calorie absorption is not disrupted somehow it's likely the above.

I'm interested in this, what do you use to host the git repo? Just a private repo on something like github or your own server? How do you backup your private key?

I also use pass. Any forge you feel like is fine (I use gitlab). I backup my gpg key with `gpg —export-owner-trust` and store that backup elsewhere.

Pass has a pretty good ecosystem of plugins/other clients, as well. There are open source iOS/Android clients and browser extensions so once you’re setup the day-to-day experience is not far off from any of the popular hosted password managers.

My only real issue is the dependency on gpg, as it’s pretty long in the tooth and a hassle to operate. (If you are not comfortable using gpg, spend some time learning that before you go all-in on pass!) There’s a fork[1] which swaps gpg for age, but it hasn’t attracted enough attention to get a similar ecosystem of mobile clients/browser extensions, so it’s not a very practical choice IMHO.

It's next-to-impossible to implement pass on every device everywhere and have all the same features on each client without reimplementing all of GnuPG. It pushes a lot on to GnuPG.

God help you if you want to use the PGP applet on a Yubikey or smartcard. The pieces all exist, but wiring them all up in a mobile app is hard and the result is janky.

I don't think Age will catch on as a replacement until it has a gpg-agent equivalent to facilitate access.

I run Gitea on my own server. (I didn't switch to Forgejo because it's not in the Debian repositories.) I don't have a backup of my private key... I should do that.

Why cscope and not an LSP?

Because I've been using it for over 30 years?

I knew there were more visual studio type plugins that may also fit my needs but as I said I do not use plugins. If I install "vim" and it isn't in it, I most likely am not going to use it.

A "language server" also sounds all kinds of wrong although I suppose the function is the same.

Why would you say GUI based workflows are better (ignoring LLMs for now)? I would maybe give you debugging with breakpoints but for anything else I love my neovim with tmux setup

I spend more time reading and debugging code than writing it.

Vim and other terminal tools make doing complex text manipulation easy, but I rarely need to do anything complex when writing code.

I also work from different machines and ephemeral vms regularly and don’t want to spend time setting things up each time.

I can install vscode and the one lsp plugin I need in under a minute. In contrast, Vim doesn’t even have line number enabled by default.

I don't think setup time is a fair comparison here. Any dev who cares to use CLI tools has a dotfiles repo that sets up everything in "under a minute".

What about installing the tooling needed to make various plugins work (ripgrep, fd, lsps, etc)?

And I work on different types of systems, which have different requirements and different ways of installing these tools.

Yes, there are other tools to help automate this process as well, but vscode “just works”

I mean yeah, there are tools to automate it. I think you may have a point if both of the following hold true:

1. You very frequently have to install your setup from scratch.

2. Preconfiguring something that aids in installing from scratch is not viable or sensible. (Perhaps you work in an environment where you're not allowed access to your personal dotfiles repo, for example.)

But I think most people will fail at least one of these checks.

I find that (neo)vim enable code navigation to be much faster than any GUI as well, once past the learning curve. If you’re going to work with code long term (eg: years), the learning curve pays off quickly.

> AI is every conversation with everyone

Wow that sounds horrible.

Yes it is.

Yeah losing is maybe a bad example. What about a software update bricking the device, or a hardware problem?

Kinda like how I have it set up in linux except the system partition is the uki and the user password is LUKS2 passphrase

What devices are you expecting driver issues with? Even NVidia is not much of a problem these days

I knew someone who created a mandelbrot set viewer that would display over an VGA port, you had a game controller to move around and zoom into it. Something like that?
